Orientation of dimensions

[simon.doussetCDVPT]

Hello,

I'm making a drawing of the piece I'm designing and I use dimensions tool.

On every tutorials I see, the dimension is always written in horizontal, parallele to the sheet orientation. However, in my case it is always parallele to the dimension's line, see picture joined. For complexe drawings, it is unpleasant to read when all dimensions are not parallele to each other.

I can't find where it is possible to change that preference. Does anybody could help me please ?

Best regards,

Simon

ISO templates have aligned dimensions, this is what you ate using, ANSI or ASME templates are unilateral oriented dimensions.  There is no particular setting to change the orientation.  You could use an ANSI template and change the units to millimeters but then you will have to be content with other ANSI standards such as section view orientation.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. That's right, there are a lot of other drawbacks using the ASME normalisation to make a drawing...

It is not possible to change the dimension's orientation using the ISO normalisation because it is fixed via the norme or because Fusion doesn't allow it ?

Best regards,

Fusion 360 just does not allow it at this time.

Hello,

Thank you for the informations, and sorry for the delay of answer.

I will continue to use ISO templates because as you told me the other specifications of the ASME standards are not pleasant to use.

Best regards,

Simon
